Join us and laugh for the health of it with very freeing laughter exercises! Laughter Yoga is a deceptively simple, yet very powerful and potentially life-changing form of exercise that anybody can do — anytime, anywhere. Its core premise is that your body can and knows how to laugh, regardless of what your mind has to say. Laughter Yoga is a body-mind approach to laughter, not something mind-body. The distinction is very important. Here you do not need to have a sense of humor, know jokes, or e …

Welcome to LA for the Gay 2.0. Formed in 2008, as one of only two Los Angeles-based gay meetup groups, the group has seen many changes in leadership and has even merged into another group. In 2011, our original founder, J.______, re-created LA for the Gay, based on the basic principle of: come to a meetup…meet new people…and feel welcome. This group is for LGBTQ people over the age of 21, single or coupled, to cultivate new friendships while exploring Los Angeles and its equally awesome neighb …

With this group I hope to bring together those of us who love and adore our Mastiffs.

Everywhere we go we leave an indelible mark on the hearts and clothes of everyone we meet. We will frequently join other large breed groups in our Meetups and when we go "hiking" we do eventually make it from point A to B and back to A. We welcome all socialized giant/larg …

I decided to start this group because I have small dogs, including a tiny 2.5lb Chihuahua and a Yorkie and 2 mixed rescues from Puerto Rico. Most groups are breed specific and my pack is a mixture. I am a member to the Yorkie and Chihuahua groups in Los Angeles which are awesome but I don't want to crash the Yorkie group and bring my Chihuahua to the Yorkie party!! So, why not start a mixed breed small dog group? They would appreciate more friends in the San Fernando Valley area. If your small d …

A meet-up playtime group for English Bulldogs in the valley. Not restricted to English Bulldogs, French and other medium breeds welcome :) Location is open for discussion.

My wife and I live in Porter Ranch and own a wonderful male Cocker Spaniel. We frequest the nearest dog park which is located in the middle of the valley on Victory Blvd. just east of White Oak Ave. Since cockers are usally mid size we use the small/medium size park there(there is a separate park also for large dogs). We rarely see other cockers and thought someone should start a meetup for cocker owners in the San Fernando Valley. The park is maintaned fairly well by the city and there is plent …

I'm looking for others like me who have small dogs, live in a space that doesn't have a yard, and want more outlets to exercise their pets and have fun. While visits the local dog park are good, my little one enjoys making friends who she can play with on a regular basis. So if you have a furry friend that plays well with others, then come join us for an adventure!

The mission of this meetup group is to collectively and cooperatively produce as many shorts as possible in a very short time on a very limited budget. Impossible, you say! We beg to differ.

I've hiked, camped and backpacked for many years. One day while hiking with a group, I heard people talking about some local hot springs, and it sounded interesting so I wanted to find out more.  Long story short, within a few years, I've gone to most of the hot springs in Southern California and many up north as well. Hot springs are special places.  They truly do have medicinal and stress relieving properties.  If you have any silver jewelry you will see the healing mineral content of the wate …

I don't sketch and draw nearly as much as I want, maybe there are a few people who feel the same and also have a nagging desire to crawl out of their dungeon. Maybe the group will flounder and collapse in days! Who knows. My plan is to meetup in unorthodox public places, interesting places, scary places? All with the goal of sitting down and sketching for a bit. Drawing buildings, drawing people, drawing signs, drawing dogs, drawing each other, drawing wheels, eating and drawing, drinking and dr …

Come for a hike in Runyon Canyon every Friday morning with other dog owners. Dog not required to participate. Seriously...I don't even have a dog I just like to be around them!

We hike the dirt trail path up the left hand side (not the paved road) which is said to be the more challenging path (still pretty easy). This hike is l …

This is a group for anyone with a mild physical disability that would like to meet new friends. I started a group like this years ago when I was younger and the response was wonderful. Now at 26 years old, it is very hard to meet people who understand, I am no different than anyone else...I have the same wants and dreams. The only thing is I have a little difficulty walking and use a cane. I also have a Service Dog... so anyone with Service Dogs or use a wheelchair are welcomed. We could meet at …
